In this video, you’ll sail with us out of Blue Haven Marina in the Turks and Caicos. You’ll then experience what it’s like to anchor off a deserted island in the pitch black. We’ll show you how to put up a staysail.
You’ll find out what made a ‘boom, boom, boom,’ noise above my head in the dead of the night. Simon will explain how we monitor boats in the area over AIS using our plotter. Check out some humpback whales that breach and slap their tails.
Find out why we had to divert to the Dominican Republic rather than sailing on to Puerto Rico. You’ll also see what can go wrong with a genoa halyard and how to replace one halyard with another.
Discover where a suspected fuel leak came from and take a tour of the lovely Puerto Bahia Marina - one of the best marina’s we’ve stayed in!
